It's been a while. Mainly because I'm busy - and a bit lazy. This has been in my head ever since I started writing this story, but oh well.

Disclaimer: Not Mine! if it was i wouldn't make the next episode start in JANUARY!! (i needed to vent. none of my friends watch Fringe - they don't understand)


He was at the door, and barely out of breath. He wondered if this was what it was like to have a "out of body" experience. He doubted it – he felt solid. He could see her still figure through the blurred windows, frozen in front of the door. He reached for the handle and it opened with ease. She jerked around, staring wildly at him. He stepped inside and let the door close behind him.

Then their lips were crashing into each other, and they each clutched the other closer. It wasn't the way a first kiss should be – there was no tenderness in it, no hesitation, just a wild craving for loving and feeling.

Neither was sure who started it. Neither really cared. His burning desire was too strong for her to overpower, and their bodies had minds of their own. Their hands moved wildly, struggling to get closer than humanly possible, while their lips never parted.

His need to cure her – to fix her – was practically palpable in the tiny landing. He was almost too strong, too rough, as he fought to make her feel something. His lips attacked hers, but she didn't seem to mind. He wanted nothing more than to give her the pain and horror and joy that had been his constant companions throughout the years. He had to get rid of the ice he could see was building inside her overwhelming her.

This was the world they lived in – the horrifying, terrible world – and this was the way they coped. What else could be done, when commonly accepted "laws" were broken in every minute? When the things that were accepted as "fact" could be proven wrong by a simple leap of faith and a mathematical sequence? He burned hot and she blew cold and it was the way they dealed.

As his fire flowed into her, the ice around her heart began to melt.
